Filter by Lexile

The Lexile Framework for Reading is just one measure used to determine the reading difficulty of texts. Texts are analyzed for vocabulary and readability and assigned a numerical score based on their difficulty. This helps readers select books that are challenging but not too difficult, promoting growth and enjoyment in reading.
